The Sun. — London, England, 1838-06-26 00:00:00

LONDON: TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1838. The tbrel gentlemen whom we mentioned yesterday as Coronation Peers are to have the following titles : CHARLES HANBURY TRACY, Esq., Baron SUDELEY. PAUL METHUEN, Esq., Baron METHUEN. Sir JOHN -WROTTESLEY, Baron WROTTESLEY. Besides these, and besides the Earl of MULGR AYE, elevated to be Marquis of NORMANBY, and Lord Lis- MORE, created a British Peer, which we have already noticed, the fullowing are to be the elevations : Lord DUNDAS to he E.irl of ZETLAND. Lord KING to be Earl of LOVELACE, Viscount. 0; KIIAM. TO BE CREATED PEERS OF PARLIAMENT. The Earl of KINTORE Lord RossmoltE Lord CAREW Baron CAREW. The Hon. WILLIAM CRAVEN CAVENDISII PONSONBY, Baron dc MAtTLEY. The Marquis of CARMARTHEN is to be called up to the House of Peers by the title of Baron OSBORNE. Colonel NArtrit expressos, we hope, in the-able article which we quote from the Chronicle, the sentiments of all high-minded Englishmen, in relation to Marshal SOULT and the malignant and base article of the " Quarterly Review." Teat it is all which be and we have described it to be is evident by the Tory journals running a muck against the Pa , is papers, for saying a few words in praise of Marshal SoCLT. We do not approve of their alluding to old feuds at this time, but the conduct of the " Quarterly Review " and our Tory journals is ten times worse than that of the lowest scribblers for the- Paris daily press. Colonel NAPIEIt has so eloquently and so nobly treated the subject in relation to the character of Souur and to the peaceful! Fnission on which the aged warrior has come, sacrificing; as we believe, many of his personal feelings, and submitting to revive some painful recollections for the promotion of his country's welfare, by cementing its present friendly relations with its ancient foe—that lie has not left us on this point one word to add. But we must' advert again to the insult c onveyed to our own SOVEREIGN by the slight thrown on the time honoured warrior, who has been selected as the foremost man of his own country to do honour to her. Report has said that Marshal SOULT was sent because our QUEEN had indicated a wish to that effect. We know nothing of its truth, but we are quite convinced that no person would be sent who was not perfectly agreeable to her MAJESTY ; and if she indicated such a wish, the article in the Quarterly" is disloyal, as well as base and malignant. SOULT is one of the most illustrious warriors now living, whose mighty energies and great abilities gave lustre to the laurels on the brow of our own hero. To have defeated JtJNOT or MASSENA was little ; to have succeeded against SOULT was a glory second only to hat ing triumphed over NAPO LEON. Her MAJESTY then, we think, might naturally wish to see the most formidable antagonist now living whom WELLINGTON ever encountered ; and it was certainly not to affront her that SOULT was sent to witness her coronation. He comes to do honour to her ; he is her guest, and the attempt of the " Quarterly Itevie‘s" to dishonour him is to affront her MAJESTY. At present, however, the T.-or:es are so rabid at their continual exclusion from office, that to slight her MAJESTY is common to them. At the PITT dinner, on Saturday, the Marquis of SALISBURY, in proposing her MAJESTY'S health, could find nothing better to say than this ; and we give his whole speech : " Thank God, the time had not yet arrived when Englishmen neg lected to drink the hea'th'of their Sovereign in a flowing bumper. He was sure that their enthusiasm would not be diminished when they recollected that their young and beautiful Queen waA now about to ra tifv her contract with her loyal subjects, and secure, by her engagements in that solemn and interesting ceremony of the approaching Coronation, the liberties, the Constitution, and the happiness of her people." So the Tories arc almost ready not to drink her MA JESTY'S health, and would pass her by if they dared. No body but a disappointed Tory dreams of such a time com ing as that the Marquis of 'SALISBURY alluded to, and he cnly dreams of it because the QUEEN is not exclusively the QUEEN of the Tories. She treats all her subjects equally, and so the domineering bigots slight and insult her. • For the QUEEN Dowager the Noble Marquis wanted no words of compliment. In her praise his tongue was eloquent. In proposing her health he said— " The next toast, the Chairman observed, was the health of an Wm trious Lady who deservedly endeared herself to all who knew her and who he regretted to say had but a few years presided over their country as Queen consort of these realms. But their admiration of her lofty character and gratitude for the truly beneficial manner in which she had discharged the various duties of her exalted station, accompanied her into the retirement of private life." We grudge not Queen ADELAIDE one word of this well deserved praise, but those who could bestow it ought to have found something better to say of our young and gracious QUEEN, than that the time was not yet come when the To ries dared to neglect drinking her health. Of a piece with the slight thrown on her MAJESTY at the Pitt dinner, is the ungracious attack made on her guest by the " Quarterly Review" and the Tory prints. We asserted yesterday that the Duke of WELLINGTON would be the very last person to participate in the bad feel ing displayed by the Quarterly Review, towards Marshal Soul.; and in this we are fully confirmed by a good autho rity—Colonel Nan Ea. It appears that the Duke, so far rom encouraging such an attack, has, by his conduct, marked it with severe reprobation, in delaying, out of corn• pliment to SOULT, the publication of the eleventh volume of his dispatches, in order that nothing might escape, cal culated to offend the feelings of the illustrious warrior, who has paid a tribute of honour to WELLINGTON and his country, by accepting the mission. "He means to honour the soldier guest of England," and what a shade would have been cast on the great name of WELLINGTON had he meant any other thing—a victor can afford to be generous. Generosity in the vanquished is a virtue of rarer occurrence, and on this occasion SOULT has displayed it in an eminent de gree. He was defeated in every encounter with WELLINGTON; MASSENA, MARIIONT, awl JOURDAN had been defeated in their turn. He Was sent last of all, and had the mortifica tion of being beaten on his S own soil. He generously for gets all this, and, true to the French character, which ever pays the highest respect to valour in an enemy, he comes amongst us voluntarily —not as his master did, to pay homage to " the most powerful, the most persevering, and the most generous of his enemies." Yet there are writers bearing the name of Englishmen who cannot estimate this conduct—whose rancour against France, after twenty three years of amicable intercourse, is still unappeased, and who, by their ill-timed, officious, and malignant asper sions, would again embroil the two countries, of which the en mity caused such scenes of desolation in Europe, and of which the concord is almost synonymous with universal peace. WELLINGLON has seen enough of the hor-, rors of war not to encourage these miserable calumniators —he did not meet with such treatment in France, while the bitterness of defeat was still fresh in the minds of that gallant people—and he made a proper return for this in his place in the House of Lords, when he paid a higher compliment to their national character than he ever didto any other of our enemies, or even of our allies. We should, indeed, be ashamed of our countrymen, if they did not follow his example ; but we have no cause for alarm, because we have the moral certainty that not one in ten thousand participate in the malignant feelings, or approve of the un-English mode of warfare adopted by the dull and dis graceful writer in the Quarterly Review. A contest has arisen in the city of London for the office of Sheriff, and the only one of the four candidates who de serves the undivided support of the Liberals is Mr. Alder man THOMAS `Noon. This gentleman has been distin guished in the city for his humanity, his liberality, and his attachment to the old Saxon and local liberties of our an cestors, which cannot be said of his competitors. We hope, therefore, that the citizens of London, out of regard to themselves, will place him at the head of the poll. The House of Commons evinced no disposition to sup port Mr. CLAY's motion for reducing the sugar bounties last night. A tax levied on the public of two or three millions a year for behoof of the sugar growers and owners was the question, and the House of Commons paid not the least attention to Mr. CLAY. A scheme was proposed to prevent fraud, to add to the revenue, and to increase the health and comforts of the people, and the Members of the House of Commons amused themselves with small talk, and drowned the Honourable Member's voice who brought forward the motion. This accounts for the debate being nearly. suppressed in the Morning Papers : the reporters could not hear it, and so the arguments which were used are all suppressed. If it had been a question concerning the per sonal honour of some Member--if Mr. O'CONNELL h been accused of slandering a Committee—how death-like would have been the silence during the oration of a MAID.. STONE ! How full and accurate the report of every word which fell from every speaker 1 The Sugar Duties con cerned the public, and the Representatives of the public refused to listen to the discussion. The arguments, such as they were, by which Mr. P. THOMSON opposed Mr. CLAY'S motion partook of the same character. It is admitted by the , CHANcELLow of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. P. THOMSON that the present rate of bounty is an injury to the public, for they purpose to reduce it ; but because some sugar refiners who were warned a year ago that the duties would be ahem], have stocks in hand, all which they could work off in a fortnight, the evils of the present system are to be in flicted on the country till next October. The refiners and planters have been avowedly and unjustly getting the pub lic money for years past, and to give them more of this money for three months is Mr. THOMSON'S object. This is sacrificing the public to the sugar refiners and planters. It is proclaiming that the Legislature cares not a straw for the public, but is resolved to enrich individuals, as if Mr. THOMSON were determined to lower the character of the Legislature, and make it as despicable, contemptible, and hateful to the public as pos sible. " Let the sugar owners or the land owners or the Canada lumberers honour it for putting gold into their pockets," the public will say, " we despise and detest it as an instrument for fleecng us for their benefit." He put forth too a hypocritical pretence of serving the poor. The a!tcration would enhance the price of treacle fcrgooth ! But the treacle supplied by the sugar refiner is only a small part of that which is brought into the country, and will not sell in the market below that. which must have paid the import duty of 9s. per cwt. To have lowered the duty on sugar would have given them a good article at a cheap rate ; it wculd have saved them from eating dirt and slug poison at the rate of 5 per cent. To have clone away with the bounty would have saved them amomgst others between two and three millions a-year at least, but it would have forced the Board of Trade to alter its system--it would have affected the dearly beloved planters —and so on one hypocritical pretence or another the public advantage was last night sacrificed, as it ever has been, to class interests and private emoluments. It has been proved over and over again, that the present system of bounties and duties on sugar levies an enormous tax on the public for the sake of the monopolists ; last night it was proved that the Board of Trade supports this unjust and flagi tious system, that the House of Commons will not listen to those who propose to amend it, and therefore there is no alternative but for the public to take the matter up, and to tell both Mr. THOMSON and the planters that they not he taxed—whatever they may submit to for the national ecurity—to enrich a set of cruel monopolists. The Mails by Railway Bill, the second reading of which was to have come on last night in the Commons, was, in con sequence of the long debate on the Irish Municipal Bill, postponed to this day. Sir ROEERT PEEL presented a petition from the Birmingham and Derby Junction Rail way Company, complaining of two of the clauses of the Bill, one of which gave the Postmaster-General, or an Q persons deputed by him, the power of interfering in the ma nagement of railways, and the other the power of conveying passengers without making proper compensation to the pro prietors. We have before stated our opinion that the clause which gives the first power complained of might be advanta geously modified. It may be necessary that this power should be vested in some of the departments of the State, in order to secure, on the part of the Railway Companies, that attention in the conveyance of the mails which the public service demands ; but we doubt the propriety: of it lodging solely in the POSTMASTER-GE_ NERAL. Of course, if Post-office engines and carriages are placed upon railways, they must be under the manage ment of the Post-office ; but before this mode of convey ing the mails be adopted the sanction of the SECRETARY of STATE for the Home Department, or some equally high authority, should be obtained. With respect to the second head of complaint, there is no foundation for it whatever. If the machinery of the Railway Companies be used by the State, a fair remunera tion is provided by the Bill, and will be given —if the State use its own machinery, it will pay the Companies for the wear and tear of the Railways. And what more are they entitled to ? It would no doubt be a better thing for the shareholders if they could levy a handsome contri bution on the State for the privilege of merely using the rails, but in this there would be neither equity nor utility. With fully as much justice might the trustees of turnpike roads claim toll from the mail coaches, on the ground that considerable expense had been incurred in repairing the road. It is said that " the exemption enjoyed by the Post Office from tolls, in conveying the mails, does not exempt it from horsing and driving the coaches." And this is true ; but who, with brains in his head, would have thought of using this as an argu ment against the present Bill ? If it can be shewn that the State is liable to pay for the use of the high road, there might be something in it ; but this, we appre hend, will hardly be attempted. The machinery, that is to say engines, carriages, guards, &c., by which the mails are conveyed on railroads, is in ttlis argument precisely on a footing with the machinery, including coaches, horses, &c. on a common road. Now the State does not propose to use the railroad machinery of the Companies without giving adequate remuneration, and if it place its own ma chinery on these roads, is it also to make remunera tion Shall it not claim the right of using the highway which it has created, and made to supersede the public one ? We regard any attempt to pocket the public money under the pretence of compensation for the use of a Rail way, as not only extremely illiberal and ungrateful, but closely bordering upon extortion. The Paris journals of Sunday have all been received, but except the following extracts they contain no news of any interest : it is affirmed that a telegraphic despatch has clmmunicated orders to the parquets at Strasburg to cause domiciliary visits to be made in the houses of the booksellers of that city, where it is supposed that M. Laity's pamphlet is deposited. Domiciliary visits have been made at the residences of General Guil laume de Vandoncourt, of Messrs. Belmontel, St. Edme, and Laudois, booksellers. It is affirmed that more than twenty summonses have been issued. We have the following letter from Toulon of June 19 : The repairs of the vessels which are intended to reinforce the naval divisions of Rear Admiral Lablanc and Captain Baroche are proceeding with great activity. The Meliagre sails to-morrow for the coast of Spain ; its station will be Barcelona. An account has been made out of all the expences of building and equipping the Hercules of 100 guns, which was launched in 1836, and equipped in 1837. From this statement it appears that a ship of 100 guns ready to go to sea costs the sum of 2,900,000 francs.—Constiiutionett. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees says it is asserted thatthe sentence passed by the courts-martial on Elio and Zariatigue, having been heard before Don Carlos, his has resolved ttn.t these Generals shall remain without employment, and that a place of residence shall be assigned, where they are to remain for a certain time. This will be the whole o f their punish ment. The number of A jateteros who come to seek an asylum in France increases every day ; exposed to all kinds of insults and persecu. lions, they cross the frontier and arrive at Bayonne. THE QUARTERLY REVIEW AND MARSHAL SOT.ILT. An elaborated article has just appeared in the Quarterly Ret7iew,profesedly written to prove that the Duke of Welling ton was not beaten at Toulouse, for which his Grace must be truly thankful. The real design of the reviewer is the base one of reviving national animosities, by insulting, and, if pos sible, causing others to insult, a venerable warrior who comes to offer the right hard of peace and good fellowship to his ancient adversaries. To insult a man who comes as the guest of England _to insult the veteran Soult, incontestably the most eminent, from talents and great exploits, of all the distinguished foreigners now assembled in London for the purpose of gracing the ap proaching Coronation I—to insult an aged warrior, whose name is, in the mind of every British soldier who served in the Peninsula, as su-ely and closely associated with the recol lection of hard-fought battles as cracking bullets are with the recollection cf artillery—yes, to insult this man while he is the national guest, to create heart-burninge, to revive ignoble prejudices, and perpetuate malice between two friendly people is the object of the Quarterly. Soult was the first Marshal who attacked our army in the Peninsular war ; Soult was the last man who resisted our army in that memorable contest ; and that he was the most skilful, persevering, and formidable enemy we encountered during the long struggle none can doubt. His troops were often discomfited, and the glory of England shone the brighter therefrom ; but be himself was never quelled in spirit, his proud head never bowed in despair, he had the will, and he found the way to give blow for blow to the last. That he was a magnaniP_aous enemy is evinced by the monument he ordered to be erected to the me mory of the heroic Sir John Moore. T.iat he was a generous enemy to his prisoners one of my olva family can vouch from personal experience, and so can re,any other persons. That he was a sturdy foe in battle eselry British officer who served against him will acknowler ) :ge. He comes now in b''., old age on a mission of peace and good will to this country, which has ever honoured a brave and noble opponent, respecting most at the board him who struck hardest in t'ae field. Marshal Soult has been the gallant enemy of England in the field. He is now her guest. How will he be treated ? Surely in the way that will most honour him awl his host—treated as one of the bravest and ablest soldiers in Europe should he be treated ! Grey-haired and covered with honourable wounds, he comes, nothing doubting that his greeting will he such as becomes the gallant, high blooded people of England to offer him. He knows, none better, /tow sternly and strongly they throng together in battle ; he will now learn that they bear no malice after, or the national character is changed. It is said, nay, it is known, that the Duke of Wellington, with that proud delicacy which is more than life-blood to a thorough Englishman, has delayed the publication of the eleventh volume of his dispatches, because, while Soult is in the country, he would not let a word, a saga escape him cul culated to wound his former opponent, or recal past asperities. He means to honour the soldier guest of England. Shall this noble sentiment, or the malig►nant vulgarity of the Quarterly Review be the guide for Englishmen? It would be a national insult to express a doubt Fresbford, June 24, 1838. W. NAPIER, Colonel. DEDICATED BY EXPRESS PERMISSION, TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY.

GRAND REHEARSAL OF THE CORONATION INIUSIC. A rehearsal of the music connected with the ceremonial of the coronation on Thursday next, took place at the abbey this day. It commenced at eleven o'clock, and every piece was played precisely in the order in which it will be introduced at the magnificent ceremony which now forms the subject of every conversation, to the exclusion of all other topics. The orchestra and chorus conssted of about five hundred perfor mers, amongst whom we recognised nearly every individual of eminence in the musical profession. In the semi-chorus we observed Mrs. Knyvett, Miss Birch, Mrs. Bishop, Miss Shir. reff, Mr. H. Phillips, Mr. Bellamy, and many other professors of celebrity. The band was led by Mr..F. Cramer, and the whole, with the exception of Mr. Knyvctt's Antlie n (at the performance of which the composer himself presided), was conducted with great ability, and attention to the most trifling minutia, by Sir George Smart. The choir itself, although in some little confusion from the attendance of workmen and work women, who were busied during the whole of the rehearsal in put ting the finishing touch to the decorative part of the preparations, gave evident tokens of the superb scene to be witnessed on Thursday. The long galleries erected over the pointed gothic arches of the aisles, were filled with fashionable company, amongst whom the fairer sex were by far the most predominant in The immense gallery erected at the cast end of the Choir for the reception of the Gentlemen of the House of Commons was also well filled with elegant company, as was the large gallery immediately above that. There were but few persons to be seen on the floor of the choir, except the working people ; and those who were present were evi dently parties connected with the ceremonial. The Bishop of London and Lord Burghersh were pointed out to us at one period. Before entering on the business of the general rehearsal, Sir George Smart directed the trumpets, about a dozen in num ber, stationed in a small gallery erected for their accommoda tion, over the two large galleries at the cast end of the choir, to play the music connected with the ceremony. They consequently immediately gave the National Anthem, " God save the Queen." The effect was most magnificent. Al though occupying a situation at an immense height, and con sequent distance from the spectators, every note told. They afterwards played a superb martial flourish, the effect of which was equally admirable. At the head of these performers was the eminent performer on his instrument, Mr. Harper. Attwood's anthem " I was glad," played at the entrance of the Queen into the choir, was then rehearsed. It was finely and correctly played, and had a most excellent effect ; the words " Peace within her walls, and plenteousness in her Pa laces," sung with gr eat di s ti nc t ness by t h e c h or us, had an admirable effect, and will, no doubt, at the august ceremony, awaken the most ardent sympathies. The " Sanctu s " an d res p onses t o t h e Lit an y, the composi tions of Sir Geo. Smart, composer to her Majesty's Chapels Royal, were rehearsed next. The opening symphony of the " Sanctus" was beautiful, Sir G. introducing the trombones pian', and sustaining the harmonies in a very effective manner. " Zadock, the Priest," was well sung, but many of the choristers introduced the word " Queen" instead of " King," which was incorrect in this anthem, where it is Solomon who is spoken of. Handel's Coronation Anthem, " The Queen shall rejoice," was well sung. Boyce's " Te deum" we thought heavy. The anthem "This is the day," composed by Mr. Knyvett, one of the composers to her Majesty's Chapels Royal, was next rehearsed, and repeated, not going so well as the composer wished. The last movement, in three-four time, was much admired ; the remainedr we considered rather common• place, and not very new in conception. The splendid " Hallelujah Chorus" of Handel was sung as finely as we ever heard it. The instrumental piece which will conclude the whole, and which is to be played after the blessing, was Handel's occasional overture. It did not go so well as it ought ; the trumpets evinced a want of firmness, and.the horns could scarcely be heard at all. These defects will doubtless be amended on the grand occasion. The rehearsal concluded, and the company left the Abbey soon after two o'clock. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTFR of the ROLLS this day took consent petitions and short causes. After the consent petitions had been,gone through— (a LESSON FOR COUNSEL). Mr. TINNILY applied to the Court to have a cause restored, which was yesterday (being one of several others) struck out in consequence of Counsel not being present when called on. Mr. Wilcox, who was his (Mr. Tinney's) junior in the 2d cause, was present at the sit ting of Court but was informed by Mr Spurrier, who was Coun. sel in the first cause, that 'that would take a considerable time. An objection, however, occurred to his Lordship relative to the want of parties, and the first cause was ordered to stand over, notwith. standing the Counsel had not thought it worth while to take the ob_ jection. Mr. Wilcox, who had been absent only a few minutes, on his return found the Court was " up," and he (Mr. Tinney) believed a considerable number of other Counsel had been placed exactly in the same situation. The difficulty of the Queen's Counsel being ab. sent had been foreseen, and arrangements had been made by which the juniors were prepared to go on without their leaders. The fact was every one had been taken by surprise in consequence of the first cause so suddenly and unexpectedly going off. Lord LANonntm—l do not think there is the least reasonable ground Mr. Tinney, for saying any one was taken by surprise. If there was an understanding that the causes were to goon with the junior counsel nothing can be more obvious than that there was great neglect in their not being present. I Mr. TEMPLE was also engaged in one of the causes that were struck out. On inquiry upon coming into Court he had learned that the first cause was likely to take considerable time, and that there was a plea to follow it. He therefore went back to Chambers, but kept on his gown and wig. In a short time afterwards lie was informed his Lordship was running through the Paper. Ire immediately was on his way to the Court again, but met the Registrar at the gate, who gave him the start. ling news that the Court had rose.—(A laugh.) Mr. PEMBERTON said his Lordship would recollect the pleadings in the first cause had been opened on Saturday, and that that would have been the time for any objections, as to want of parties to have been taken. Ills Lordship himself had raised the objection, although, un. doubtedly it hail not appeared to him (Mr. P.) nor to his friend Mr. Hayter, who was with him, that it was necessary for the interests of their clients that the objection should be taken, as it would undoubtedly delay the hearing the cause for some time. Lord LANGDALE—The gentlemen in the next case were not ready. Mr. PEMBERTON—My friend, Mr. Tead, had promised me that he would go on with it; and I am sure no one keeps his promise better than my friend, but it unfortunately happened that his brief had been left at his own house instead of being brought down to his Chambers. Lord LANGDALE—The real question is, whether those parties whose causes are in the paper to-day, have not a right of preference over those whose causes were yesterday struck out. The only compro mise I can make is to allow then to be put down again, after the last seal, when probably there will be time for them to be heard. I have a very painful duty to perform, and it is my duty to see that the rules and forms of the Court are observed. It is with exceeding regret that I put any par ties or counsel to inconvenience; but the proceedings of the Court become a jest unless I adhere to the rule. I will let them be heard a few days after the last seal. Mr. TINNEY said he knew there was no neglect on the part of the so licitors in the cause in which lie had made the present application. Lord L►NGOALE.—But these things would continually occur, unless the Court held a very tight hand. Mr. Coorea said he was in a cause as low down as nine in the paper, and before he could arrive from the Vice-Chancellor's, the Court was ul).—(Laughter ) Lord LANGDALE—I went through the whole paper for the purpose of ascertaining if any parties were ready, and finding nobody was ready, I was obliged to pursue the course I did. Mr. l'EsizErerox said that of course they could not ask that the parties should be placed in a better situation than those whose causes were in the paper to-day, but lie trusted the Court would not place them in a worse situation. The truth was, that by this accident all the causes had been struck out, as if they would havo been disposed of yesterday, while certainly not more than two could have been disposed of.. If three causes that were struck out yesterday were not allowed to come or. till after the last Seal, the parties whose causes were so unexpectedly advanced might not be ready, and consequently they would in their turn have to be struck out. Lord LANGDALE —I cannot help it. It is the duty of all parties to be ready. The last seal is the 26th of July ; after that there will be motions and petitions; and 1 have r.o objection to give these parties the period that intervenes between that and the time at which the Court rises for the long vacation, and that will (Table them all to be heard probably before the long vacation.

HYDE PAOrc, &c.—Yesterday wds appornted for the cefiimeteetheift on the erection of the boOths, Ric., in H; de Park, and a great spirit of activity was every where prevalent. What had been heaps of bare poles in the morning assumed in the evening the firm of theatres, booths, and taverns of eve. y grade. The fair will eottprise an area of about fifty acres, round the four sides of which the principal boOths being erected. Richarthon's is on the Wcst side of it, near the clump of trees by the barracks. Scnwton's js at the South West angle. The Crown and Anchor Tavern is near Richardson's, and extends 450 feet in depth —in fact, it appears like a street of no ordinary dimensions. The other sides of the area arc chiefly occupied with victualling boot ha, of which there is a most abundant supply, and, from the butts of beer, ale, anti stout, which are strewed about the Park, it would stem that a demand is expected not of every day occurrence. The firework gal. lery is complet d, and a number of men are emp"oyed in manufac turing for the pyrotechnic display with great industry in the house erected for that purpose. A board has been put up requesting the people not to come within 50 yards of the outer fence on the nights of the fair, by which means a'l will have a good view of the fireworks. A notice has also been issued by Superintendent Mallilleu, which st..tes that . where parties have obtained ground not Lena fide, but fir other persons, they will he deprived of all the privileges of their booths. No carts or waggons will be admitted into the park alter two o'clock, nor will any erection be permitted subsequent to Tuesday. No gambling is to be allowed, and, if discovered, the persons will be deprived of their booths. All booths, &c., of every description, are to be cleared away by eight o'clock on Saturday night. In the Green park the firework gallery is nearly in a state of cmnFletion. At the top of the screen, be fore the Duke of Devonshire's house in Piccadilly, a very handsome gallery has been built, which is tastefully lined with pink; it extends nearly the whole width of the house. A large gallery is also erected on either side of the great gate leading to the New Palace from Hyde Park Corner. FESTIVITIES IN THE COUNTRY. Preparations are in progress in every part of the empire to celebree the auspicious event of tier Majesty's Coronation, on Thursday next, with every kind of festivity and rejoicing. We subjoin so❑ e extracts from the Scotch, Irish, and provincial papers lying on our table : ErnstatiaGn.—Thes various shops will be shut during the whole of Thursday next. We are informed also that at a meeting of the Queen's tradesmen, held on Thursday, it was resolved not to illuminate on ac count of the season of the year, but they agreed to dine together as a body in the afternoon. The Magistrates, we rirceive, have issued a pla card, recommending that, as there is to be no general illumination, the Inhabitants should subscribe for fire-works. The placard also contains an injunction, or rather expresses a hope, in which we cordially join, that thegood and orderly conduct of the citizens will be such as to pre vent any disturbance of the public peace on this happy occasion. 'We are authorized to say that there is no intention to illuminate the front of the Royal Exchange, or any of the public buildings in this city, on the evening of her Majesty's coronation day.—Scotsman.

CORK—The Lord Mayor of Dublin has issued a Proclamation for a General Illumination, and a similar course has been followed by the Civic Functionary here.

The children of all the subscription schools are to be treated to wine and cake ; a dinner is to take place at the Coffee-house, and a ball at the Bush Inn, and we understand that it is the earnest wish of the United Committee that every thing like exclusiveness should be avoided on the occasion, and that it is expected that those who usually attend the winter As semblies, and those who take an interest in the annual balls of the tradesmen, will cordially join in the Coronation Ball of Thursday next. —Carlisle Journal.
